    Welcome to the forums!

    Have you tried the disks on another machine to see if they work there, and have you tried other Linux live disks on your machine, and they worked?

    Exclamation

    Thanks for the welcome!

    While I haven't tried the medium on another pc ( my other would be a macbook). However when i first built the PC I was able to get the latest version of Mint loaded. its been about 5 months since that initial experiment. I really want to let go of Windows so i you can help, that would be great.

    I'm at work when i get home, i'll post a picture of the error message.

    Thank you for your help.
